How to Apply

We encourage you to apply as early as possible, particularly if you are intending to apply for funding - many applications to scholarships require you to have a firm offer of a place before you can be considered.

Online Application Procedure

The online application is the quickest and easiest way of applying to The University of Nottingham and gives you ongoing information about the progress of your application.

The Postgraduate Applications online system enables you to fill out a standard application form online and submit this to the University immediately. When you have submitted your application, you can view its progress by using the tracking system online.

For the Research Proposal Section of the application all you need to do is clearly indicate which of the above area of Physics you are interested in studying.

Please attach a transcript and evidence of any English Language qualification to your application.

Application Process

Once the on-line application is submitted you will be sent an acknowledgement and your application will be passed to the School of Physics & Astronomy for prompt consideration. Home candidates are normally invited to visit the School to meet potential supervisors. Interested supervisors normally contact international applicants by telephone or Skype.
